INTRODUCTION
Sure, we all want the same thing – neighborhoods that are stronger and healthier.
But it’s okay to disagree about how to get there. Better than okay, because if we
listen carefully to the ideas of others we can make adjustments to our own.
Neighborhood developers face no shortage of issues about which people –
reasonable people – often disagree. For example:
* How should cities and their neighborhoods respond to new federal guidelines
promoting dispersal of poor families to wealthier communities? What does this
bode for place-based redevelopment?
* Is gentrification unavoidable when fresh, market-driven investment begins
flowing into a less affluent neighborhood? Can we save places for working
families and make room for the gentry?
* Are growing calls for expanded urban agriculture and other uses of vacant lots
(recreation, storm-water retention, etc.) a subtle form of surrender? Or are there
ways to re-populate half-emptied residential neighborhoods?
* How can neighborhood leaders help reestablish trust between local residents
– especially at-risk youth – and the Chicago Police Department? Why has true
“community policing” been so difficult to implement?
Chances are you’ve got an answer or two. And chances are you may disagree
with others … or maybe even with the premise of the question.
Then you’ve come to the right place. What’s your perspective? Join the
conversation.

Dear Friends:
As Mayor of the City of Chicago, I am pleased to offer my warmest greetings to
all those gathered for the 22nd Annual Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards
(CNDA).
Let me also offer my congratulations -- not only to those who will be honored
tonight, but to each of the community, philanthropic and business leaders whose
partnerships keep our neighborhoods and city strong.
Chicago has earned a place on the short list of the world's global cities not just
because of our stunning lakefront, thriving central-area, location, outstanding cultural
and education institutions, or unparalleled transportation infrastructure.
We've succeed because we never stop striving to be a great place to live, to work
and to raise our families. We are a city that embraces and prepares for change.
Over its 20 year history CNDA has become an essential moment to reflect on and
celebrate the contributions that the extraordinary partnership between neighborhoods,
corporate, philanthropic and City leaders are making to our ever-evolving city.
minimum wage is a critical part of not only growing our economy but of ensuring that
economic growth also equals income growth for the many, not just the few.
As the theme of this year's CNDA expresses, there are many and differing
perspectives on the best road to ensure a strong future for Chicago - but one thing is
clear to me and to all here tonight - strong and healthy neighborhoods are essential
elements of any pathway.
Strong neighborhoods make Chicago a strong City.
Congratulations to this year's CNDA winners and to all whose hard work proved
worthy of nomination. You inspire us to work even harder for a better Chicago in 2016.
Sincerely,
Mayor
Despite the apparent and significant challenges, this has been a good year for
Chicago. We are a destination of choice for companies seeking a well-educated,
diverse workforce; for the young seeking education and opportunity; for empty nesters
seeking the vibrancy of city life; for immigrants seeking an embrace of diversity and
increasingly for families seeking quality, affordable housing, education and amenities.
Yet, like all best accomplishments, what we've gained is not a ceiling but a
foundation upon which we must build. Together we must - and can - meet new
challenges. With new ordinances we hope to help developers increase our ability
to create, preserve, and support 8,300 affordable apartments and homes annually hopefully some of the projects will be among the CNDA awardees in the years to
come. Our investments in CPS and City Colleges means that every neighborhood
will have the quality, high performing schools they need - preparing our youth- and
adults for the new global - and very digital - economy. And the city's raising of the

Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 22nd Annual Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards.
On behalf of JPMorgan Chase, I have the privilege of chairing this annual
celebration of achievement by community-based organizations working in
partnership with our community-minded corporations, philanthropies and
government leaders.
Chase has a long and active history of working with community development
organizations in and around Chicago. Whether its project financing or New
Markets Tax Credits, we have been and will continue to be a go-to partner in the
development and growth of healthy neighborhoods across Chicago.
The truth is, we do this work all over the world because we are more and more
connected to our global neighbors than ever before. Recently, we launched
Metro Chicago Exports – an effort to increase the exporting capacity of small
and medium-sized businesses in the Chicago area to help them find new markets
and venues for growth. We also launched a program called Small Business
Forward, a $30 million, five-year commitment to help small businesses because
they are a key part of the engine that drives community success.
4 CNDA22
But it is you in the neighborhoods who ultimately do the heavy lifting.
Nearly everyone here tonight has been working to build the affordable housing,
develop the retail centers, support better schools and push for the cultural and
recreational amenities that all successful neighborhoods deserve.
JPMorgan Chase salutes you for your hard work and promises to remain at
your side as we advance our city-of-neighborhoods into the front rank of world
cities.
Sincerely,
Melissa Bean
Midwest Chair
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

PANEL DISCUSSION
What’s Your Perspective?
Panelists
We mostly agree on what we want for Chicago’s struggling neighborhoods…
Amisha Patel
yet we often have different ideas about how to get there.
Confrontation draws attention to neighborhood problems… but can alienate
those with the resources to solve them. Compromise is great … though elusive
if players on one side of the table hold most of the high cards. Even when
agreement is reached over certain resources or policy changes, our neighborhood
bucket can spring a leak somewhere else. What good is housing rehab on one
side of the block if foreclosures continue on the other?
We invite you to consider different ideas from experts on our CNDA panel…
then join the conversation.

THE RICHARD M. DALEY FRIEND
OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AWARD
Andrew J. Mooney
He listens.
Whether guiding policy from City Hall or
helping local leaders plan and pursue
a better future for their neighborhoods,
Andy Mooney always begins by listening.
“Top-down doesn’t work,” he explains,
citing a list of failed fixes decreed from
on high, from “slum clearance” to highrise public housing. “Neighborhoods
have to put together their own
leadership, their own program.”
Not that key players go off in different
directions. During his recently completed
five-year tenure as Commissioner of
Planning & Development, as with his
15-years heading the Chicago office of
the Local Initiatives Support Corporation
(LISC), Andy perfected the art of gentle
persuasion.
The Mooney Method is as profound
as it is simple: Listen to find out what
their needs and aspirations are; then
show the actors in any community
development effort – the political, the
charitable and the local – that much
more can be accomplished by working
together.
Exhibit A was LISC’s New Communities
Program (NCP). Inspired by a citywide
leadership conference, blessed by
City Hall, funded by the MacArthur
Foundation and run by grassroots
groups in 20 neighborhoods, NCP

leveraged hundreds of millions in
investment, engaged thousands of
ordinary citizens and became the
nation’s how-to model for comprehensive
community development.
At City Hall, the Mooney Method has
helped two mayors pull a recessionstrapped Chicago back to its feet with
a series of public-private collaborations
that have borne fruit from Wrigleyville to
Fulton Market, from Uptown to Pullman.
Andy Mooney understands, as few
do, how the “City that Works” actually
does work. A native of Chicago and
graduate of the University of Notre
Dame, he started in government as the
late Mayor Jane Byrne’s first director
of intergovernmental affairs, then as
executive director and chairman of
the board of the Chicago Housing
Authority. Later he would leave to run a
Des Moines, IA., regional development
agency, only to return in the ’90s to lead
LISC Chicago, serve on the board of
CHA and donate his leadership skills
to civic boards and commissions too
numerous to list.
He and his wife, Mary Laraia – an
accomplished community development
pro in her own right – now split their
time between their place on the Near
West Side and along the Turquoise Trail
southwest of Santa Fe, NM. He also may
do a little consulting and, of course,
